J., proposes, by means of a new invention recently patented by him. to circumvent burglars in the attacks upon safes, lie constructs a sale hating within its walls strong receptacles, into which he Introduces powerfully compressed or liquified poisonous gases, so that when these chambers or branches -extending therefrom ate penetrated by the burglars drill, the gases shall escape and filiate the air around the safe, and the open-tlons cannot be continued. Ilraiich pipes sealed with suitable fusible plugs are aUo provided, so that in case of fire, the melllnz oi the plugs will allow the escape of the nicphitlc gas or gases to extinguish the fire. The idea of preventing burglars from working in this way is ingenious. The escape of a small quantity of carbonic acid, carbonic oxide, sulphuretted hydrogen, or other gases that might be employed lor this purpoe, would so vitiate the air of a close room that do one could work in It, and our readers are generally well aware of the power of carbonic acid to extinguish fire. Whether the ingenious fraternity or burglars will be able to match the Inventor, by the exercise of equal Ingenuity, time will determine.

U. It. WEBSTER, Prest I.alita G. lUwsoN-.Secy. The Difference. (From the Chicago .Evening rosl) Senator Schurz was kindly, even trrn erously and magnanimously received by me iteptioiicaiis ot mis city on the occasion of his recent oratorical visitation here but It was on the di.tiuct understan ding that he would conduct himself with some degree of decency towanl the par ly 01 which neclaliiied to be a member. Atler his departure, his speech even its follies and bitterness received a trener- osity of treatment which illustrated the charity that inspires the Republican party. But Mr. Schurz lias taken the earliest npiortuiiily to-show that the lesson 01 ton-ranee was lost upon mm. Senator Morton spoke in St. Louis last week, and he delivered a calm, well-con sidered sieech, containing nothing that could oJeiid Schurz. except a denuncia tion ol the Democratic party. This is the way he and his address are spoken of by 11 e n csit.ciie fust, wmcu Jir. ?cnurz edits. 'The treat event has passed. The brightest "trump" of the "Regulars" is played. Semtor Morton, ol Indiana, the iiieutsl strength of Grant and the herd ot the strict "Regular ' disciplined element ofthe Republican party came. saw. spoke, and has already returned to 111s luuitaiiou lu iiiuiaua." And so on for half a column of contemp tuous and supercilious comment. Is this wtiat Senator Carl Schurz calls fair treatment? And Is It the style of comment which he challenges for himself when next he shall eineree from his sanc tum to answer an Imitation which he has himself Invited ? Does he wish to be derided when lie speaks, and followed when he departs with a volley of Parthian slang ? We only desire to know the real significance of Ids indecent as sault oil a man who has shown him self to be his peer a; a debater and his superior ai a courteous gentleman. The St Louis Democrat hits the snar ling Senator a fair blow when It says of his visit to Chicago: "The Chicaco Post, an administration paper welcomed him as a friend and we think that lhe Republicans of the Late City generally dlJ. They did net Imagine that the fact of his objecting to certain measures of the pdnilnittration, or of bis opposing the reuojulnation of Grant, cut nun on irom me consideration and the amenity due to a distinguish ed Republican. But the fact that Mor ion is an auministrauon itepuDiican condemns him to be treated by the West- llche Post, rauih as the Democratic Ahirijer treats him, we suppose that the explanation of this contrast between the courtesies ol administration journalism toward Senator S;Imrz and tuosc oi ins paper toward Senator Morton must be in the sup rlor magnanimity of the 'liberal' Republican journal. It, of course breathes a nobler atmosphere tlian vulgar 'regular Journals do. It has become emancipated from the paltry spirit or petty parlisanlsm, and lives only In the sublime region of independence and conscientiousness. ' Editor Schurz says with a sneer that there were few Germans present" to hear Senator Morton. We should hope there were no "Germans" present. No citizens of this country ought to consider themselves Germans, or permit themselves to bo so con-Idered. If Mr. Hciiurz cannot cease to foster the miserable prejudices of class and race, and learn that all the citizens or this country, whatever their birthplace, are Amerl-icans. It is quite time he ceased to misrepresent the great State of Missouri In the national councils. The Buffalo Reflex thinks that the pre mium for the finest bahy to be exhibited at the Greene County I air. should have been announced at least a year ago, so as to have giseti everybody a fair chance to get ready for the exhibition. Now most people always keep prepared for such occasions. They find plenty of stimulus other than Fair Premiums. The editor of the Reflex Is an exception, however. And we fear that the prospective glory of n Fair premium would scarcely have brought him to time.

CORRESPONDENCE. Jasper County Fair. The Premium List ofthe Jasper County Stock and Agriculural Association Is before me, and I wish to make some comments thereon, not out of any 111 wit towards the Association, but to provoke some discussion, and lead In the future to some improvements. The objects of this Association are de dared to be (Art. a,) "To promote im provements In the various denartments of agriculture," "fruits, vegetables, and ornamental gardening." the mechanic arts in all their various brandies," do mestic animals," -rural and Household manufactories," "and the dissemination it uselul knowledge unon these sub Jects." And yet more than half of the premiums offered will promote, neither directly, nor Indirectly, either of these objects. All the heavy premiums offer ed are for race horses. Now It Is not race horses that the country wants that far mers need: and 1 fear the principal ob ject ofthe committee. Instead of the le gitimate ebiects or the Association, was to draw in me greatest crowd to see the races a crowd consequently of the rouzbs," for no dass of educated peo ple would take any special Interest In them. And this obiect of trtttlnr the greatest crown, and the most money. would be better accomplished by a Dun fight, or a fist tight, or a gallows' scene. Several ofthe premiums are not adapted to the classes of people to whom they are offered. As instances, an agricultural paper to blacksmiths, shoemakers, watr- on, saddle aud harness makers. To make the best ladies' saddle, a man must be a saddler by trade, and devote his thought and time to the budness. What cares he about an agricultural Panerr Several of the premiums are not ade quate to produce competition. For In stance, 'best canon sonrnum. ou cents.' Now suppose lean manufacture sorghum equal to the best golden syrup aud I nave me testimony ot creuitaoie persons that the most ef our goldeu syrups are made from jorchutn shall I take it to the Fair, and compete for the prize? It would be useless to the people at the Fair to keep It corked up in a jug. and only exhibited to the examining committee. Every one must have an opportunity of examining it, and testing it, and I must be on hand to tell them over and over how the sorghum was raised, and the whole process of its manufacture. This would take three arduous dart' labor. aud cost an annual Fair ticket $1 00, and an entrance fee of 10 cents. and the cation of sorghum would be tasted up, worth 75 cents for all which I should get 30 cents in premium. Many of the oremimns are. on such things, and in such a way, that If there is any competition, n committee can m.ilcaju.t award. For instance, best sample of white beans, tomatoes, earlr potaloes, buckwheat, com, etc. Now a dozen samples of white beans might be presented as near alike as any uozen iiairs u vonr head: and it the names ot me ex hibitors are attacht-d to lhe sample-, (which thev should nut be. i the commit tee will (unintentionally) decide In their awaru oy meir partiality lur ine cxmui-tors. So of potatoes. A .sample not a lair sample ot me crop, as mey grow, but a selection ofa few ofthe fairest aud best In the whole field. And of corn the lis: implies shelled and we have only to select a auantum tufftcit of the lar- rest and best kernels we can find And he who will take the most pains in this w ay will get the premium ot ou cents. If the Dretnium had been for a dozen of me largest anil longest ears ui cvrn. it would lute been something concerning which a just award rou'd have been made. Or if it had bfxn the greatest number of bushels otcorn, or beans, or potatoes to the acre, but as it Is It encour ages the mast careful assorting, Again, "best hair bushel or dil--d pea-dies' ' slrled in the county will depend upon who lias had the most money to buv them with, and the best opportunity to tuy the best specimens of that fruit. I cannot see that the preminm will promote either one of the objects of the As sociation. So 'best display or rur goods "bestcage of canary birds," lhe pre mium will go to the longest purse, and will only encourage paying ettt big money for these articles. And premiums for the best tomatoes, grapes, quinces, pears, cherries, strawberries. gooeberrics, Ac, preserved In cans, is for the sole obiect of procuring a display of such fruit on the Fairground. As It w ill not be expected that the committee or anybody else will be permitted to open the cans to test the quality of the fruits, the committee cannot possibly mike a just decision if there Is any competition; and the display will do nobody any good, but simply a passing iook while passing through the fair grounds. Instead of further comment on pre-m!cms that are. I will dose by naming a few premiums that should be. 1. To encourage new agricultural enterprises.2. To encourage skill.

The prohlbtloti ofthe traffic In latoxl eating liquors has worked only for good. pecuniarily, morally and socially. Vine-land now contains about 12.000 people. mostly engaged In agriculture. I will now quote the extract which I wish the me reader to consider. The abolition of laws renulrfn? the establishment ef fences, was intended to promote both economy and beauty. Ev ery settler Is at liberty to build fences If lie desires, bill wnere tne land can be till ed. It Is an ascertained fact that the toll ing oi cattle is more prontabia than pasturing. To carry out this change It was only necessary that a law should be te cured to prohibit cattle from running at large on the nignways. inia was done in the face of some opposition from the few farmers inside aud outside of the tract, with whose haMU this law would Interfere. At first It was disregarded by some sudi, butlhe killing of a lew cattle. and the impounding of otaers, witn mies and penalties, soon ditu-med the oppo sition, and universal obedience Is new the rule. The immense outlay saved the settlement oy mis enactment win oe partially aupreclated by a inoment't consid- ation. The length of the various roadt on tne tract ameunts to igu miles, ine fendug required o both tides of tlmm at S2 per rod. would be S204.KM. The ad dition of line fences between different owners would doubtless require five times this expenditure; so that by dispen sing with fences at least one million of dollars has been saved the settlement. Hedges and screens are a voluntary mat ter.

If one townshlD saves a million dollars by a ttock law, what would Jasper coun ty saver Various States are learning this lesson. For proof I quote again from Agricultur al iieport, pge4uu: 'in a nuioruv oi tne states mere are general laws prohibiting cattle and other stock from running at large; or there is special legislation for particular counties Ac lisrrtet.i s T. IIP fMRTIIAfiK. T. OF CARTHAGE. Ohio Correspondence. Sandcsst, Ohio, Sept. t, 1871. Editors Baxxer. In my last com munication to your excellent paper, I endeavored to enlighten your readers on the condition of affairs In the Buckeye State, cs taken from a political stand point. I told them that there would probably be four State tickets lu the field this fall. Three had then been nominated, and that the fourth was talked of very strong ly. The Labor Reformists hate since hehl their convention, and upon deliberation decided a wise decision to nut nominate State candidates this year. But tney adopted a scries of resolutions near-Ivas lengthy as those promulgated by our fore-lathers, In their convention ot June, luli. Whether this party will ever amount to anything in Ohio, is a question which lime alone can decide. As yet It oertain- ly does not amount to mucn. n we take New HamDshlre as an example, we must acknowledge that the Labor Reformers are cn the ascendency, and are the workers of some good, as their acts of last Soring will testify. But the three parties whose nominations have been made lu this State, aie "up and doing." and are each determu ed that nothing shall fail of being accom plished that will tend in the least, to add strength to the caue they espouse. The Repubika-i party opened their at tack on the ueuiocraey on me zim uu.. by bringing into requisition every small as well as big sun, at their command. Fifty speecnes or more were made by tne IteptlDllcails on mat .vojes v stay. Col. McCook. the democratic stind- ard bearer, began speaking sometime since, out last wees: ne was oouged to withdraw on account of sickness. The Colonel is an able speoker, and draws well wherever he speaks. Gen. Noyes. the Republican candidate for governor, delivered his first address at Columbus, last Thursday evrulifg. lie Is said 10 oe a very pointed aim elo quent speaker. 1 lie lion. u. JJ.-iano addressed the citizens of this place last fhursday, on the political Issues of the lav. He was listened to by a respecta ble audience, who appreciated his effort- to enlighten th:ni on the troublesome questions wulc'i are agitating the minds of the politicians of our country. When the Democracy ot un.o toot ineir-ue-parturt," It was thought that there would not te inn.-h Interest taken In the campaign, as both parties would advocate the same principles, nearly; but that class of thinkers were disappointed. The advocacy of the tarlo question Is so vastly different In the two parties, that that Issue of Itself makes it lively. Great efforts are being made by tlie democracy to carry the Legislature this fall, so that Ohio may be represented in the Senate of the United States by two staunch followers of their teachings. oTho Republican aspirants for that pusltiou, are so numerous, and work to persistently for their own interests, that they will lu all prob-ahllitr loie the Leglsla ure. in i,Tiyannga county i,icvcianu mere will b five tickets: one a stralzht-oul democratic, one straight out republican, and three others made up dilcny of republicans. These parties will be known br the names of prohibitionists, republican bolters, and the anti-repealers. The object ofthe last-nxuied faction is to prevent the repeal the present Uiuor law. Sherman.

J., proposes, by means of a new invention recently patented by him. to circumvent burglars in the attacks upon safes, lie constructs a sale hating within its walls strong receptacles, into which he Introduces powerfully compressed or liquified poisonous gases, so that when these chambers or branches -extending therefrom ate penetrated by the burglars drill, the gases shall escape and filiate the air around the safe, and the open-tlons cannot be continued. Ilraiich pipes sealed with suitable fusible plugs are aUo provided, so that in case of fire, the melllnz oi the plugs will allow the escape of the nicphitlc gas or gases to extinguish the fire. The idea of preventing burglars from working in this way is ingenious. The escape of a small quantity of carbonic acid, carbonic oxide, sulphuretted hydrogen, or other gases that might be employed lor this purpoe, would so vitiate the air of a close room that do one could work in It, and our readers are generally well aware of the power of carbonic acid to extinguish fire. Whether the ingenious fraternity or burglars will be able to match the Inventor, by the exercise of equal Ingenuity, time will determine.

(From the Chicago .Evening rosl) Senator Schurz was kindly, even trrn erously and magnanimously received by me iteptioiicaiis ot mis city on the occasion of his recent oratorical visitation here but It was on the di.tiuct understan ding that he would conduct himself with some degree of decency towanl the par ly 01 which neclaliiied to be a member. Atler his departure, his speech even its follies and bitterness received a trener- osity of treatment which illustrated the charity that inspires the Republican party. But Mr. Schurz lias taken the earliest npiortuiiily to-show that the lesson 01 ton-ranee was lost upon mm. Senator Morton spoke in St. Louis last week, and he delivered a calm, well-con sidered sieech, containing nothing that could oJeiid Schurz. except a denuncia tion ol the Democratic party. This is the way he and his address are spoken of by 11 e n csit.ciie fust, wmcu Jir. ?cnurz edits. 'The treat event has passed. The brightest "trump" of the "Regulars" is played. Semtor Morton, ol Indiana, the iiieutsl strength of Grant and the herd ot the strict "Regular ' disciplined element ofthe Republican party came. saw. spoke, and has already returned to 111s luuitaiiou lu iiiuiaua." And so on for half a column of contemp tuous and supercilious comment. Is this wtiat Senator Carl Schurz calls fair treatment? And Is It the style of comment which he challenges for himself when next he shall eineree from his sanc tum to answer an Imitation which he has himself Invited ? Does he wish to be derided when lie speaks, and followed when he departs with a volley of Parthian slang ? We only desire to know the real significance of Ids indecent as sault oil a man who has shown him self to be his peer a; a debater and his superior ai a courteous gentleman. The St Louis Democrat hits the snar ling Senator a fair blow when It says of his visit to Chicago: "The Chicaco Post, an administration paper welcomed him as a friend and we think that lhe Republicans of the Late City generally dlJ. They did net Imagine that the fact of his objecting to certain measures of the pdnilnittration, or of bis opposing the reuojulnation of Grant, cut nun on irom me consideration and the amenity due to a distinguish ed Republican. But the fact that Mor ion is an auministrauon itepuDiican condemns him to be treated by the West- llche Post, rauih as the Democratic Ahirijer treats him, we suppose that the explanation of this contrast between the courtesies ol administration journalism toward Senator S;Imrz and tuosc oi ins paper toward Senator Morton must be in the sup rlor magnanimity of the 'liberal' Republican journal. It, of course breathes a nobler atmosphere tlian vulgar 'regular Journals do. It has become emancipated from the paltry spirit or petty parlisanlsm, and lives only In the sublime region of independence and conscientiousness. ' Editor Schurz says with a sneer that there were few Germans present" to hear Senator Morton. We should hope there were no "Germans" present. No citizens of this country ought to consider themselves Germans, or permit themselves to bo so con-Idered. If Mr. Hciiurz cannot cease to foster the miserable prejudices of class and race, and learn that all the citizens or this country, whatever their birthplace, are Amerl-icans. It is quite time he ceased to misrepresent the great State of Missouri In the national councils. The Buffalo Reflex thinks that the pre mium for the finest bahy to be exhibited at the Greene County I air. should have been announced at least a year ago, so as to have giseti everybody a fair chance to get ready for the exhibition. Now most people always keep prepared for such occasions. They find plenty of stimulus other than Fair Premiums. The editor of the Reflex Is an exception, however. And we fear that the prospective glory of n Fair premium would scarcely have brought him to time.

CORRESPONDENCE. Jasper County Fair. The Premium List ofthe Jasper County Stock and Agriculural Association Is before me, and I wish to make some comments thereon, not out of any 111 wit towards the Association, but to provoke some discussion, and lead In the future to some improvements. The objects of this Association are de dared to be (Art. a,) "To promote im provements In the various denartments of agriculture," "fruits, vegetables, and ornamental gardening." the mechanic arts in all their various brandies," do mestic animals," -rural and Household manufactories," "and the dissemination it uselul knowledge unon these sub Jects." And yet more than half of the premiums offered will promote, neither directly, nor Indirectly, either of these objects. All the heavy premiums offer ed are for race horses. Now It Is not race horses that the country wants that far mers need: and 1 fear the principal ob ject ofthe committee. Instead of the le gitimate ebiects or the Association, was to draw in me greatest crowd to see the races a crowd consequently of the rouzbs," for no dass of educated peo ple would take any special Interest In them. And this obiect of trtttlnr the greatest crown, and the most money. would be better accomplished by a Dun fight, or a fist tight, or a gallows' scene. Several ofthe premiums are not adapted to the classes of people to whom they are offered. As instances, an agricultural paper to blacksmiths, shoemakers, watr- on, saddle aud harness makers. To make the best ladies' saddle, a man must be a saddler by trade, and devote his thought and time to the budness. What cares he about an agricultural Panerr Several of the premiums are not ade quate to produce competition. For In stance, 'best canon sonrnum. ou cents.' Now suppose lean manufacture sorghum equal to the best golden syrup aud I nave me testimony ot creuitaoie persons that the most ef our goldeu syrups are made from jorchutn shall I take it to the Fair, and compete for the prize? It would be useless to the people at the Fair to keep It corked up in a jug. and only exhibited to the examining committee. Every one must have an opportunity of examining it, and testing it, and I must be on hand to tell them over and over how the sorghum was raised, and the whole process of its manufacture. This would take three arduous dart' labor. aud cost an annual Fair ticket $1 00, and an entrance fee of 10 cents. and the cation of sorghum would be tasted up, worth 75 cents for all which I should get 30 cents in premium. Many of the oremimns are. on such things, and in such a way, that If there is any competition, n committee can m.ilcaju.t award. For instance, best sample of white beans, tomatoes, earlr potaloes, buckwheat, com, etc. Now a dozen samples of white beans might be presented as near alike as any uozen iiairs u vonr head: and it the names ot me ex hibitors are attacht-d to lhe sample-, (which thev should nut be. i the commit tee will (unintentionally) decide In their awaru oy meir partiality lur ine cxmui-tors.

And of corn the lis: implies shelled and we have only to select a auantum tufftcit of the lar- rest and best kernels we can find And he who will take the most pains in this w ay will get the premium ot ou cents. If the Dretnium had been for a dozen of me largest anil longest ears ui cvrn. it would lute been something concerning which a just award rou'd have been made. Or if it had bfxn the greatest number of bushels otcorn, or beans, or potatoes to the acre, but as it Is It encour ages the mast careful assorting, Again, "best hair bushel or dil--d pea-dies' ' slrled in the county will depend upon who lias had the most money to buv them with, and the best opportunity to tuy the best specimens of that fruit. I cannot see that the preminm will promote either one of the objects of the As sociation. So 'best display or rur goods "bestcage of canary birds," lhe pre mium will go to the longest purse, and will only encourage paying ettt big money for these articles. And premiums for the best tomatoes, grapes, quinces, pears, cherries, strawberries. gooeberrics, Ac, preserved In cans, is for the sole obiect of procuring a display of such fruit on the Fairground. As It w ill not be expected that the committee or anybody else will be permitted to open the cans to test the quality of the fruits, the committee cannot possibly mike a just decision if there Is any competition; and the display will do nobody any good, but simply a passing iook while passing through the fair grounds.

Ev ery settler Is at liberty to build fences If lie desires, bill wnere tne land can be till ed. It Is an ascertained fact that the toll ing oi cattle is more prontabia than pasturing. To carry out this change It was only necessary that a law should be te cured to prohibit cattle from running at large on the nignways. inia was done in the face of some opposition from the few farmers inside aud outside of the tract, with whose haMU this law would Interfere.

In my last com munication to your excellent paper, I endeavored to enlighten your readers on the condition of affairs In the Buckeye State, cs taken from a political stand point. I told them that there would probably be four State tickets lu the field this fall. Three had then been nominated, and that the fourth was talked of very strong ly. The Labor Reformists hate since hehl their convention, and upon deliberation decided a wise decision to nut nominate State candidates this year. But tney adopted a scries of resolutions near-Ivas lengthy as those promulgated by our fore-lathers, In their convention ot June, luli. Whether this party will ever amount to anything in Ohio, is a question which lime alone can decide. As yet It oertain- ly does not amount to mucn. n we take New HamDshlre as an example, we must acknowledge that the Labor Reformers are cn the ascendency, and are the workers of some good, as their acts of last Soring will testify. But the three parties whose nominations have been made lu this State, aie "up and doing." and are each determu ed that nothing shall fail of being accom plished that will tend in the least, to add strength to the caue they espouse. The Repubika-i party opened their at tack on the ueuiocraey on me zim uu.. by bringing into requisition every small as well as big sun, at their command. Fifty speecnes or more were made by tne IteptlDllcails on mat .vojes v stay. Col.

He was listened to by a respecta ble audience, who appreciated his effort- to enlighten th:ni on the troublesome questions wulc'i are agitating the minds of the politicians of our country. When the Democracy ot un.o toot ineir-ue-parturt," It was thought that there would not te inn.-h Interest taken In the campaign, as both parties would advocate the same principles, nearly; but that class of thinkers were disappointed. The advocacy of the tarlo question Is so vastly different In the two parties, that that Issue of Itself makes it lively.

In reply to a recent remark of the New York Wartf that he would be sure to support the Democratic candidate fn 1S73, no matter what might be hit present attitude towanl the "new departure " Stephens says, JIu his Atlanta .paper: How this will turn out. If we are In life, time and events will determine. We make no hasty or rash premise for the future. Of one thing the World, however, may be assured, and that Is, we shall never support, by counsel or vote, either one ot the actual perpetra tors of the great frauds attempted to be Imposed upon the people of this country. In the matter of these to-called amendments to the Constitution, or any ooa ofthe ao essorles after the fact to these- most monstrous outrages. As Ste turns represents pretty fairly. the tenor ot feeling at the Sonth, we may take It for granted the Democracy North must back down from their new departure . If they want Southern support.

A young girl, still In her teens, probably beauti ful wealthy, and surrounded by the glitter and tinsel which are- supposed to-bring happiness. Is "tired of life I" And wherefore? Is It, that even at so early arr age the bat observed the tin , corruption and folly of tlie day In which we lire, and dreading Its contamlnitioas, and desptslng what Is termed "fashionable aodety," she preferred to leave this lifer. while yet the memories of a happy and Innocent childhood clustered around her childish heart 1 Or, hod she adeep-seated heart-sorrow for which oblivion and and the grave offered the only panacea?' Or had she sinned-, and to hide her shame an to save friends aud family from the- tlgma of dishonor which rested upon her fair escutcheon, preferred forgetfulness in death, to life and dishonor ? certain it It, the short dispatch which proclaimed to the world the self destruction of one to young and at tnch a time a time above all others when the bid just graduated, and was about being ushered Into the bu sy scenes of real life, docs not give (Tie full history of her untimely taking off.
